If you are considering All-on-4 dental implants Cambourne is home to one of the most advanced practices in the region. At Monkfield Dental, we offer a life-changing solution for patients with failing teeth, extensive decay, or uncomfortable dentures. Using just four precisely placed implants per arch, we restore a complete set of fixed teeth. As a result, these look and feel natural — and we often fit them in a single day. At Monkfield Dental in Cambourne, we use a fully digital workflow with the Megagen AnyRidge implant system. In addition, we offer three tailored packages to suit different needs and budgets. Every package includes your permanent prosthesis — not just a temporary.
What are All-on-4 dental implants?
All-on-4 is a full arch rehabilitation technique that replaces an entire row of teeth using just four dental implants. Specifically, we place two implants vertically at the front of the jaw and angle two more towards the back — maximising contact with available bone and often eliminating the need for bone grafting.
In contrast, removable dentures sit on the gums and can slip, click, or cause discomfort. All-on-4 teeth, however, attach permanently to the implants. They don’t come out, they don’t move, and they look, feel, and function like natural teeth. As a result, you can eat what you want, speak clearly, and smile with complete confidence.
Is All-on-4 right for you?
All-on-4 may be the ideal solution if you:
- Have multiple failing or missing teeth across an entire arch
- Wear dentures that feel loose, uncomfortable, or affect your confidence
- Have been told you don’t have enough bone for traditional implants
- Want a fixed, permanent alternative to removable dentures
- Are looking for a faster route to a full set of teeth compared to individual implants
In fact, many of our All-on-4 patients had lived with dental problems for years before coming to us. Some had avoided the dentist entirely. However, there is no judgement here — just a clear plan to restore your smile and your quality of life. To find out whether All-on-4 dental implants Cambourne is right for you, book a consultation with Dr Ricardo.
Our fully digital workflow
We plan and deliver every All-on-4 case at Monkfield Dental using a fully digital workflow. From your first 3D scan to your final prosthesis, we use advanced digital technology at every stage. As a result, the process is faster, more accurate, and more comfortable for you.
A key part of our approach is MUA (Multi-Unit Abutment) scanning posts. These allow us to take fully digital impressions of your implants without any traditional impression material. In other words, no messy putty, no gagging, and no discomfort. Just a quick, precise digital scan with superior results.
Furthermore, this digital approach delivers faster turnaround times from our laboratory, higher accuracy in the fit of your final teeth, and the ability to preview your new smile before treatment begins.
Your treatment journey — 7 appointments from start to finish
We have designed a clear, streamlined process so you know exactly what to expect at every stage. Your full arch transformation unfolds over seven appointments across three phases.
Phase 1 — Assessment
Appointment 1: Comprehensive assessment Your journey begins with a thorough consultation. This includes a 3D CBCT scan of your jaw, a digital intraoral scan, clinical photographs, and a full medical history review. During this appointment, we assess your bone volume, discuss your goals, and gather everything needed to plan your treatment digitally.
Appointment 2: Treatment plan presentation Next, we present your personalised treatment plan with digital visuals. You can see exactly what we are proposing. We then explain all your options — including our three package tiers — discuss risks and realistic expectations, and answer every question. Before you make any commitment, you receive a full written plan.
Phase 2 — Surgery
Appointment 3: Implant placement and same-day teeth On the day of surgery, Dr Ricardo places your implants using a 3D-printed surgical guide for precision positioning. The Megagen AnyRidge system’s unique thread design gives us exceptional implant stability. Because of this, we can fit a fixed set of provisional teeth on the same day. You walk in with failing teeth and walk out with a new smile.
Appointment 4: Post-operative review Around 7–14 days after surgery, we check your healing, remove sutures, and assess the fit of your provisional teeth. If needed, we make adjustments and provide detailed hygiene instructions for caring for your new implants.
Phase 3 — Restoration
Appointment 5: Digital impressions for your final teeth Once your implants have fully integrated with the jawbone (typically 3–6 months), we take a fully digital impression using MUA scanning posts. As mentioned earlier, no traditional impressions are needed. We then send these digital files directly to our laboratory to begin fabricating your permanent prosthesis.
Appointment 6: Try-in Before making your final teeth, we create a 3D-printed prototype for you to try in. At this stage, we check the aesthetics, the bite, and the overall feel — and you approve the design before we proceed. This step ensures you are completely happy with the result.
Appointment 7: Final fit Finally, we fit your permanent prosthesis, polish it, and adjust it to perfection. We verify the fit, check your bite, and take final photographs. You leave with your completed smile and join our maintenance programme to protect your investment for the long term.
Three packages to suit your needs
We offer three All-on-4 packages, each delivering a complete, permanent solution. Every package covers all seven appointments, your 3D CBCT scan, digital planning, surgical guide, implant placement, same-day provisional teeth, all follow-up care, and your final permanent prosthesis. Importantly, there are no hidden costs.
Essential — Best Value
Our most accessible full arch package for patients who want a proven, durable permanent solution at an exceptional price point. This includes four Megagen AnyRidge implants and a titanium bar with PMMA prosthesis — a lightweight, natural-looking restoration that we custom-design and professionally mill. In short, this is a complete permanent smile, not a temporary.
Premium — Superior Stability
For patients who want enhanced long-term stability and peace of mind, this package includes six implants instead of four. As a result, it provides better load distribution across the arch for maximum longevity. You receive the same high-quality titanium bar with PMMA prosthesis, plus your first year of maintenance. Additionally, an optional premium characterisation upgrade adds enhanced aesthetics.
Elite — Ultimate Aesthetics
Our top-tier package for patients who want the very best in materials and appearance. The Elite package features a monolithic zirconia bridge — the most natural-looking, strongest, and most stain-resistant option available. Furthermore, your first two years of maintenance are included, along with priority scheduling throughout your treatment.
Not sure which package suits you best? We will help you decide during your consultation. Above all, there is no pressure to choose the most expensive option — every package delivers a life-changing result.
Same-day teeth with every package
One of the biggest advantages of All-on-4 is that you never go without teeth at any point. On the day of surgery, we fit a fixed set of provisional teeth so you leave the practice with a complete smile. These provisional teeth function fully from day one — meaning you can eat, speak, and smile normally while your implants heal over the following months.
Once healing is complete, we replace your provisional teeth with your permanent prosthesis — either titanium bar with PMMA or zirconia, depending on your chosen package.
Protecting your Investment — Maintenance Plans
Full arch implants represent a significant investment in your health and confidence. Therefore, they deserve ongoing professional care. We offer two maintenance plans to keep your implants and prosthesis in optimal condition for years to come.
Essential Maintenance
An annual comprehensive implant check with radiographs, plus a discount on any treatments or repairs. This plan is ideal for patients who maintain excellent home care and want professional monitoring.
Comprehensive Maintenance
For more complete protection, this includes two professional hygiene appointments per year, an annual implant check with radiographs, occlusal adjustments, minor prosthetic maintenance, and priority emergency appointments. This is our most popular plan — designed for patients who want complete protection and convenience.
We enrol all patients in a maintenance plan following treatment to ensure long-term success.

Common questions from new patients
The surgical appointment typically takes 3–4 hours per arch. You leave with fixed provisional teeth the same day. The full treatment journey from first consultation to final permanent prosthesis takes approximately 4–6 months across seven appointments.
The surgery is carried out under local anaesthetic, with IV sedation available if preferred. Most patients report far less discomfort than they expected. Post-operative soreness is manageable with standard painkillers and typically lasts a few days. We provide full aftercare instructions and are always available if you have concerns.
In many cases, yes. The angled placement of the posterior implants is specifically designed to maximise contact with available bone, often avoiding the need for bone grafting. We will assess your bone volume with a 3D CBCT scan during your consultation and advise whether any additional procedures are needed.
During the healing period we recommend a softer diet for the first few weeks. Once your final prosthesis is fitted, you can eat virtually anything — including foods that denture wearers typically struggle with, such as steak, apples, and crusty bread.
The implants themselves are designed to last a lifetime with proper care. The prosthesis typically lasts 15–20 years or more depending on the material chosen and how well it is maintained. Regular check-ups and good oral hygiene are essential, which is why every patient is enrolled in a maintenance plan following treatment.
The Essential package includes four implants with a titanium bar and PMMA prosthesis — a proven, durable, permanent solution. The Premium package uses six implants for enhanced stability and longevity. The Elite package features a monolithic zirconia bridge for superior aesthetics and strength. All three packages include same-day teeth, all seven appointments, and a permanent prosthesis.
Titanium bar with PMMA is a lightweight, durable option with natural aesthetics that is easier to adjust and repair if needed. Zirconia is a premium ceramic offering the most natural appearance, exceptional strength, and stain resistance — though it is more difficult to modify. Both are excellent long-term solutions and we will help you choose based on your priorities.
Yes. We offer 0% interest finance, making treatment accessible with manageable monthly payments. Longer terms are also available at competitive rates. Finance is provided by Tabeo and is subject to status. We discuss all payment options with you before treatment begins.
While dental tourism may appear cheaper upfront, the true cost includes flights, accommodation, time off work, and the difficulty of managing complications from another country. At Monkfield Dental you receive the same advanced digital technology used by leading clinics, with the added benefits of local follow-up care, UK regulation under the CQC and GDC, and immediate support if you ever need it.
Implant failure is rare — success rates for All-on-4 exceed 95%. If an implant does fail during the healing period, it can usually be replaced and the prosthesis adjusted. We monitor every case closely throughout the integration phase.
